I keep hearing that, but I have a Thinkpad, and I can't imagine a situation where i would use the trackpoint. It's just so slow and inaccurate that I can't stand it.

I am looking forward to Virgo. I don't care so much about the track point (I don't see what everyone sees in them) but I hear it will come with three mouse buttons, and I'm really happy about that.

Some GPL projects do it. If you find someone infringing, it's easier to sue them if you have one copywrite holder instead of 100.

I kind of have low expectations because I didn't really care about this character the last time we saw her, but I'm hoping to be won over.

Soon we'll be able to emacs the way the developers intended.

I'm pretty sure I was set up for substitutes, but this was a while ago.

I did end up replacing my router a few months after that, so it may have just been that my connection was very slow.

Also, every time I tried it and it didn't work, I had to do a full Pop Os install in order for myguix install media to start working again, which added a few minutes to the process.

I was thinking something to do with nonvolitile memory.

The real problem was that the guided install - guix pull - system reconfigure - reboot process took about three to four hours each time, so I gave up after a few iterations.

I did try playing around with bios settings a little, but I'm sure I missed some possibilities.

I thought that, but I had identical results using the stock install media and the modified nonguix one from systemcrafters.

The weird thing was that the initial install went fine, even after the first reboot. The problem was the next boot after my first system reconfigure.

Not only could I not boot my system after that, but I couldn't boot the install media either. The only thing that would work was the installer for the most recent pop os.

I tried and failed to install it on my laptop last year. Couldn't figure out the problem and went back to pop. I'm messing around with it in a vm, though, and liking it a lot. I may try again when I have some more time to troubleshoot.

I think I remember reading it in the FAQ, but I can't find it now. It looks like the Redox book used to have a chapter called "why mit" but it's not there now.

Preference for MIT and Apache is part of the culture of rust. Also, the lead dev behind Redox has mentioned that he chose MIT over GPL because it makes it easier to contribute, which he felt was important for getting Redox off the ground.

GPL was the most popular at one point. MIT overtook it around the turn of the century, I think.

What about Redox?

This is why I have a windows box. I'm hoping when they finally release SteamOS 3 for PC it will have stable SteamVR support.

The way nix deals with packages is very different from most distros. If you install a newer version of a package, the older version just gets hidden, not removed. This makes it very easy to rollback or recover from errors, but it does mean you tend to use more space.

Yeah. I had a few complaints, but overall thought it was a fun movie.

I like book reader. It's simple and does the job.

I had a similar experience. Back before epub took off, I started reading Gutenberg books on my wince phone. I think I was using an app called jbookshelf. Even then I loved the convenience of it.

Once android happened, I switched to epubs and it was so much better.

Now I'm mostly using koreader, along with kindle and Google play books. I prefer reading anything in a foreign language on Kindle, because it's so easy to look up words.

Drm on Steam is optional. It's up to the dev whether to include any or not.

However, if the game uses any steam features, like achievements, voice chat, leaderboards, etc., then those won't work without steam.

Fzf isn't really experimental. It's pretty mature at this point. I found it to be pretty innovative, though, adding an interactive spin to the find program.
